The loose-end ending on the beach with Asuka was confusing but other than that it was every bit as brilliant as the series: huge in scope and pitch black themes. Catches you off-guard several times and leaves a lasting impression.

First and foremost, the G is definitely a G/gamma and not a "d". (Why does that not have a more common name?)

That's more or less the reaction you're supposed to have.

Remember, the entire thing was basically made as a fuck you to the fans who complained about the original. They basically wanted you to walk away confused and disappointed.

...which might also help explain why the studio is more or less a smoldering ruin now.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/StudioGainax

The last paragraph there mostly addresses it.

For more detail, you can get a bit more from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gainax#Evangelion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gainax#21st_century

There's probably better articles out there that sum it up, but you'd probably have to go looking on anime news sites to find them.

EoE is a work of art. Just leave it at that. Don't watch any of the reboots or look too far into the culture.

They partially failed then. I love the way it ended, including the retro-active reveal.

i neither have the time or the will to explain how many ways they fucked it up. But one of the worst was making a new female character who usurps asuka's position in the story, and is generally so artificially inserted in the story it becomes comical.

There are a lot of videos out there that explain how Eva fucked up the Anime industry (for the good and bad). The reboots are there to make things worse. They really exist to both fuck up the existing continuity, anime culture as a whole, and to sell merchandise.

WTF? No, EoE was more or less how the anime was originally supposed to end. It only changed because Gainax was running out of money at the time and couldn't animate something like EoE.

No, the "reboots" are actually sequels. It's actually been explained that the story is a repeating one with changes every time it repeats. The "reboot" movies are sometime after EoE, when the timeline repeats.

Jealous of a fictional character huh.

Sounds like the creators wanted to give Evangelion the Gundam treatment and were just looking for an excuse that would allow them to make infinite spinoffs.

The idea of it being a recurring loop and Kaworu being aware, predates the Rebuild movies.
